【编者按】威廉希尔app 英语四六级频道为大家收集整理了“12月四级考试过关-精细阅读和选词填空”供大家参考，希望对大家有所帮助!
对于绝大部分考生而言，这个五月月意味着我们已经正式进入到备战阶段，单纯的背诵单词业已无法满足要求。更为重要的是，我们必须把复习的重点由基本词汇的积累和构建逐步转移到熟悉命题特征、摸索考题规律上来，以求有的放矢、迅速突破，为最后的冲刺阶段打下坚实的基础。那么命题的规律是什么，近年真题又能对我们有什么启发?正所谓温故而知新，下面笔者结合近两次的精细阅读和选词填空考题为大家逐一解开疑惑。
精细阅读——有效定位，拨开迷雾
综观近年考题，一个很有意思的趋势就是文章段落数在不断增加。2008年12月份的两篇文章首度突破十段话的大关，到了2009年12月份更是涨到了14段。今年6月份的考题整体难度偏低，但两篇文章也都有6、7段。由此看来，现在的命题者似乎特别偏好这样一类文章——“散文”。当然，此处笔者所谓的散文不是指文体，而是就其结构特点而言：文章段落多，每段话却又只有寥寥数语。
碰到这种文章，考生朋友们似乎都感觉很棘手。文章不仅篇幅冗长而且结构模糊，林林总总十几段话着实不知道该从何下手。试图全文通读，怎奈阅读速度所限无法实现;想逐个击破，却又不知从何处读起只好望洋兴叹。
其实应对这种考题模式万变不离其宗的规律就是从题干入手，挑选关键词，藉由关键词的提示迅速判断有效段落的位置，各个击破，从而提高效率。在此不妨以2009年12月份的阅读文章为例。(有删节)
Throughout this long, tense election, everyone has focused on the presidential candidates and how they'll change America. Rightly so. But selfishly, I'm more fascinated by Michelle Obama and what she might be able to do, not just for this country, but for me as an African-American woman. As the potential First Lady, she would have the world's attention. And that means that for the first time people will have a chance to get up close and personal with the type of African-American woman they so rarely see.
…Even in the world of make-believe, black women still can't escape the stereotype of being eye-rolling, oversexed females raised by our never-married, alcoholic (酗酒的) mothers.
These images have helped define ….
It won't be easy. Because few ….
Just as she will have her critics, she will also have millions of fans who usually have little interest in the First Lady. Many African-American blogs have written about what they'd like to see Michelle bring to the White House ----mainly showing the world that a black woman can support her man and raise a strong black family. Michelle will have to work to please everyone — an impossible task, But for many African-American women like me, just a little of her poise (沉着), confidence and intelligence will go a long way in changing an image that's been around for far too long.
也许有考生会认为这篇文章篇幅有限，大可全文通读以后再来处理。其实大可不必。首先我们查阅一下文后的五个题目。
57. Why does Michelle Obama hold a strong fascination for the author?
58. What is the common stereotype of African-American women according to the author?
59. What do many African-Americans write about in their blogs?
60. What does the author say about Michelle Obama as a First Lady?
61. What do many African-American women hope Michelle Obama will do?
很明显，每一道题目设问对象都是相当明确，我们要从中挑选出具有标识性意义的词汇来指导自己寻找和定位原文。能够起到这种作用的词汇就称之为关键词。必须注意到的是关键词都必须是每个题目中所独有的特殊词汇，尤其像是专有名词和时间、数字这类词。以57题为例，其中就有专有名词Michelle Obama。不过这个词在最后三题当中都有出现，特殊性陡然下降。但细细看来，题干中还有一个词——fascination(着迷)，该词本身就属于四级考纲中的难度词汇。说到这里大家也明白了，能够充当关键词的不仅有特殊词，还有另外很重要的一类——陌生词汇和难度词汇。把握这个原则我们再来看58题，不难发现，stereotype也同属特殊词汇。相同的情况还有59题的blogs和60题的First Lady。61题的情况比较特殊，其中的几个专有名词在之前都曾出现。不过，由于四级出题顺序一般与原文大致相同，由此不难推测出该题应当针对文章最后一段。
